Introduction to Speech Analysis
This page introduces the fundamental structure for analyzing a political speech. It emphasizes the importance of identifying key information such as the speaker, occasion, audience, and main aim of the speech. The introduction should provide a brief overview of the speech and outline the focus of the analysis.
Highlight: The analysis should focus on how the speaker employs different rhetorical devices and strategies to maintain audience interest and evoke a sense of unity.
Example: A sample introduction might state, "My analysis will focus on how speaker employs different rhetorical devices and strategies like personal pronouns and enumeration to maintain the audience's interest and evoke a feeling of belonging."
